| Sea Lion Pups wrestle at Boomer Beach La Jolla (7.20.2020) |
I guess my laptop is on the fritz again but Davey Tiltwheel is an amazing human and has ordered me a new charging port and hopefully that will solve my issues. If I disappear for a couple days, it will mean my laptop finally refuses to charge entirely until I get the new part. Anyway, tomorrow Comic-Con@Home kicks off and is free for everyone. I didn't reapply to press credentials for the online part because I spend most of my days watching media briefings and reading news. Though it's part of my world to help promote livestreams and online things to do, I'm not really into it. I don't really mind being in my bubble if I'm being totally honest. I stay up late, watch plenty of movies and shows, read a ton, track email, get out every couple days for shopping or Nova's soccer or a Zoo or Safari Park trip here and there and I'm good. Nova's soccer team wants to go to the beach as a group after her practice on Friday and just the request alone has me all tied in knots with anxiety that maybe she shouldn't even be on the team if they can't follow such simple rules as no gatherings. Am I to believe they're really following the right protocols for practice (which we're not allowed to watch)?? So frustrating. Wake me when it's all over. More after the jump.

- County Intensifying COVID-19 Outreach to Latino Communities
- "The latest numbers provided by the County of San Diego revealed that 45% of COVID-19 related deaths and 61% of COVID-19 infections are Latinos, despite Latinos making up only 34% of San Diego County’s population.
The disproportionate rate of infection and deaths among Latinos, particularly in South San Diego, merits an urgent and comprehensive response from San Diego County. For months, we have been urging the County to create culturally relevant messaging and outreach, increase testing availability, increase contact tracing through trusted community partners, increase protections for essential workers, and increase support for people who test positive for COVID-19.
Despite these actions and solutions, we're still not seeing a response from our County leadership that shows the right level of urgency. These devastating numbers are the consequence of systemic inequities leading to disastrous outcomes for San Diego’s Latino community. People's lives are at stake; we urge our leaders to do more."

An America reeling from the emotional trauma of a mismanaged pandemic is incapable of rational policy. When the world’s leading economy and military power feels vulnerable and insecure, there can be no global peace. - More Mask Drama
